⁵⁹ God hath heard, and sheweth Himself wroth. And kicketh exceedingly against Israel.

⁴⁰ And the anger of Jehovah Is kindled against His people, And He doth abominate His inheritance.

²⁰ And Jehovah saith, `The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah -- because great; and their sin -- because exceeding grievous:

²¹ I go down now, and see whether according to its cry which is coming unto Me they have done completely -- and if not -- I know;'

²³ and ye walk not in the statutes of the nation which I am sending away from before you, for all these they have done, and I am wearied with them;

⁴⁴ and also even this, in their being in the land of their enemies, I have not rejected them, nor have I loathed them, to consume them, to break My covenant with them; for I `am' Jehovah their God; --

¹⁹ And Jehovah seeth and despiseth -- For the provocation of His sons and His daughters.

⁴ `Jehovah `is' in his holy temple: Jehovah -- in the heavens `is' His throne. His eyes see -- His eyelids try the sons of men.

² Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one -- seeking God.

³ The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.

⁴ Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.

⁵ There they have feared a fear, For God `is' in the generation of the righteous.

⁷ The Lord hath cast off His altar, He hath rejected His sanctuary, He hath shut up into the hand of the enemy The walls of her palaces, A noise they have made in the house of Jehovah Like a day of appointment.

⁸ And I cut off the three shepherds in one month, and my soul is grieved with them, and also their soul hath abhorred me.
